Now it’s early July, 1300hrs and around 112 degrees out. The HOTTEST part of the day from 1500-1800 rapidly approaching. I ask her what the “heck” she is doing? Beyond our line of site, down at the bottom of another depression is her mom and 4 other kids, ranging in age from 6-14yrs. Mom was trying to take the kids to what I refer to as trash-Cove. All the kids go there, cliff jump, smoke the “Devil’s Weed” and generally act like F-tards leaving all their Mfing trash behind. Mom missed the turn to trash cove and ended up about 10 miles into the Eldorado Mountains Wilderness. She was driving a 2wd Chevy pickup. In an attempt to turn around on this single-track ridge line she buried her Chevy to the frame <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite3" alt=":(" title="Frown    :(" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":(" />She had a cooler with enough water to last her and the kids about another 2hrs if they did nothing but sit there w/o doing anything. After digging in the Mfing 115 degrees by now, shoving the MaxTrax under the rear wheels, I was able to Snatch her back up onto the Trail, using my KE Rope. I gave her EXPLICIT instructions (2- turns) on how to get to Trash-Cove, T- intersection at the end of the single-track we were on, TURN RIGHT!I send her and the kids on their merry way, giving them most of my remaining water, patting myself on my back for erasing one more “black mark” from my soul and gathering up my gear, putting in back into the Raptor. I head down the Trail, taking the same route I gave her, fully expecting to see her stuck again….I’m covering the Trail probably 3-4X faster than what she could have possibly done. I NEVER SEE HER?? After about 10 min I know what she did….LEFT AT THE T-INTERSECTION, GOING DEEPER INTO THE WILDERNESS!! W T F…..I drive all the way to Trash-Cove, No mom, Chevy or kids on their way to heat stroke. I am Fning pizzed at this point…Once I am able to get a cell signal, I call the NPS and let them know about their New SAR mission If she wants to die, I’m ok with that. The Kids? I’m not ok with, I’ve never gotten used to seeing dead kids <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite3" alt=":(" title="Frown    :(" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":(" /></blockquote>
